Wanderlust
I am lost with no home to return to. […] If there were another person like me, they might tell me of the bitter road they have traveled and console me. But I have not met such a person, even in my dreams, because I have been unable to sleep.
— Three Monks, Otogizoshi
There was a girl who lived with her father and her mother and her sister in a hut in the shadow of a mountain where it very often...

Your must-read Coquette of all time
thedailyfeed:
Dear Coquette,
So, I’m 22 years old and I finally lost my virginity last weekend. I’m not dating the guy, but we have been seeing each other for a few months. I was raised to believe your virginity is a gift that should be saved until marriage, and my parents even gave me a purity ring, but over the past few years my own religious views have evolved and changed and I don’t...

Question: If Community isn’t renewed and this is your last day on set ever, what will you take away from this experience and what will you miss the most?
Gillian Jacobs: I’m going to cry. It so far exceeded my expectations of what the show would be. This is one of the best pilots I’ve ever read, so already my expectations were high. Then shooting the pilot -
[Jacobs begins to cry.]
Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, it’s OK, Stinkers. She’s such a pretty crier. My God, she’s a pretty crier.
Gillian Jacobs: I’ve never worked with a group of people that have impressed me so consistently on such a daily basis. I feel like given the nature of this show, we’ve been thrown everything from an action movie to a noir to My Dinner With Andre. Everybody rose to it every single week. The writing and the creativity and the scope and the ambition of the show has been— [Jacobs’s sobbing becomes ragged.]
Yvette Nicole Brown: Oh, well. I can’t sit here and not hug you.
[Brown and Brie embrace Jacobs.]
Holy shit, you ALL need to read this interview...
yourfandomsucks:
Jacobs: A friend of mine wrote a script, a feminist romantic comedy. She had a feminist scholar consult on it. My friend said, “Oh, my friend Gillian read it and really loved it.” She goes, “Gillian Jacobs, you mean: Britta Perry, feminist icon?” That gives me a lot of pride that women really identify with Britta.

I am not that interesting after all. I’m not sure I ever was? But for a while it felt like it.
I feel like a jug of wine. You uncork me and I start spilling this mediocre stuff all over the place. If you drink enough of it, it starts to make sense, but it doesn’t make you feel very good and after a while you get very headachey and kind of tired and you just do not want another glass,...

I'm currently reading Sailor Moon volume 3.
thewhitemoonfamily:
As I’m rereading the manga, I’m realizing something. Maybe I just didn’t notice this as a child, plus I’ve forgotten so much, that the manga moves REALLY fast. Of course I’ll always love the manga for it’s art and it’s beauty, and Usagi and Mamoru’s romance….
But weirdly enough, I kind of like the filler the anime provides. I know A LOT of people won’t agree, and that...
